Nature of Reality

An Emanation of Truth

Under the Influence:

Our world, as we have been led to believe, is an illusion.  All of us live out our days performing the roles we have been conditioned to adopt with the belief it is for a greater cause.  Yet, this synthetic purpose serves only the few at the grave cost of the many.  Our perceptions have been manipulated over the span of our lives to hypnotize us into accepting a meager, ordinary, repressed, and selfish existence.  We measure the growth of our progression by our physical appeal, our programmed intellect and our social status, while we avoid, dismiss and discredit the essential expressions of our heart and soul.

Soul Sacrifice:

There is a massive gap between what we interpret as spirituality, religion or faith and its authentic and resourceful application into our daily lives. Many of us flock to our selected practice searching for sanctity, knowledge and the meaning of life.  We kneel in blind devotion to superficial entities feigned to exist far beyond our limited commitment, comprehension and willingness.  What we either don’t choose or don’t want to realize about our fidelity is that we are handing over our personal power to various beliefs sourced not by spirit, yet invented and exploited by man.

Global Exploitation:

Everything about the three dimensional reality in which we exist is manipulated.  From the seemingly most sacred to the utterly profane, everything we encounter in our daily occurrences has come under malevolent influence.  As atypical as genuine epiphanies are in our modern lives is as rare we discover pure and true experiences beyond the realm of mortal persuasion.  Our natures have become attuned to the energy of manipulation.  It has desensitized, diminished and destroyed our innate propensities for acceptance, compassion, understanding, wisdom and love.

Living the Lie:

The wool of our cynicism, denial, judgment, insecurity and fear has been pulled over our perceptions.  We enable exploitation to occur in our experiences simply because we are too terrified to claim and live our truth, purpose and destiny.  It isn’t just the social indoctrination we are all exposed to well before the time, if ever, we remember who we truly are.  It isn’t even the betrayal all of us suffer from those whom we believe are closest to us.  We are all eventually seduced by and compliant to the artificial belonging, meaning and principle of common reality.

“How we perceive is what we believe.”

An Affinity for Acquiescence:

Since the dawn of belief, history, legends, stories and traditions have been invented to distract us from our souls.  We have been attached to a blind faith in others more than we empower trust in ourselves.  Our dependency upon the external world has enabled an ever-expanding, internal vortex that has left us aimless, empty and unfulfilled.  We have been modified to a simulated lifestyle of attention, desire, status and survival.  It has become the very nature of our existence.  This has conditioned us to seek in others what we can only truly discover within ourselves.

Swimming Upstream:

Contemporary society is designed to function and exist against the flow of humanity.  This is why for most of the world; life is deemed as “difficult.”  The elements of apathy, challenge and distress are constantly and strategically infused into our everyday reality.  We enable this belief and lifestyle by deciding to perceive it as such instead of choosing to embrace it as a powerful opportunity to transform ourselves and make a difference.  The mere perception that life is excruciating and insurmountable provides the perfect circumstance and excuse to yield our personal power and become social slaves.

Elusive Epiphanies:

We are multi-dimensional beings with vision and potential that reaches well beyond our human experience of imagination.  We have the ability to create, express, exist and destroy.  Our potential for adaptation, endurance, relation and transformation far surpasses our inclinations to consume, think, reason or feel.  Our addictions to our personal dramas, judgments and opinions distort our discovery, focus and purpose.  We have the inherent ability to clarify, intend and manifest all that our heart and soul desires.  Yet we continue to sacrifice our opportunities at the zenith of their possibility.

“It is only as real as we believe it to be.”

Towing the Line:

For centuries, the human race has born witness to the tragic consequences of a society ruled by the wants of the few at the cost of the needs of the many.  Each of us bears the burden of this “reality.”  Most of us are not willing to be present to or engaged in the human catastrophes of global inequality, injustice and impunity.  It has become contemptible, impractical and political to identify or entertain the vital issues of our contemporary time.  Consciousness transcends the current trends of our society, though its presence and expression garners great animosity and resistance.

Turning the Tide:

Those of us committed to and empowered by truth realize standing for it always requires great sacrifice, dedication and ridicule.  When we are inspired to choose to embark on our journey for authenticity, integrity, purpose and the fulfillment of our true destiny, the whole world appears to descend upon us.  The more we live against the popular currents of present day society, not with defiance but intention; we realize that even the strongest tides shift.  The affirmations we receive when our actions, thoughts, feelings and insights make a difference are the foundation upon which our transformation is possible.

A Call to Destiny:

We each have a vital contribution in the evolution and transcendence of the human race.  Our intuitive vision, personal power and creative expression make an extraordinary difference in the way we perceive, interact and exist in society.  The composition of our reality is created in the wake of our focus, truth, purpose and love.  The extent of our expansion and transformation is defined by our commitment to express, share and sustain its presence in our daily lives.  No matter how often we have opted to defer our personal responsibility, we are entitled only to fulfill our destiny.

An Emanation of Truth:

The world will always be exploited to the degree we enable with our amusement, drama, egotism, indifference and oblivion.  The power and possibility to transcend the present condition of society has always been within us.  It is up to all of us to offer our personal contribution for its manifestation.  Each one of our unique expressions is essential and significant to the multi-dimensional experience of global transformation.  This is the fundamental dynamic of enlightenment.  It is the only choice we will ever have to make.  If we don’t choose to be a universal emanation of truth, who will?

Culture of Confusion:

A global perplexity has distorted the essence of humanity’s awareness.  Its influence and impact is experienced in widespread dissonant energetic frequencies.  Generations of human beings have unconsciously cultivated an archaic, suppressive and contrary history of existence.  Confusion is used as a shield of defense against personal authenticity, accountability and understanding.  We embellish and gratify ourselves with social customs to flex our false power.  We have invented clever ways to avoid, discourage and discredit all that contests our true sensibility, possibility and purpose.

All of us adopt, emulate and project our personal confusion.  We have grown so accustomed to it that it becomes our nature, and ultimately our weapon and downfall.  Our confusion clouds our vision, perception and comprehension.  It blinds us to our truth, love and destiny.  Our focus is distorted by the contemporary enchantments of “real” life.  A myriad of distraction is designed and exists to further divert our attention toward the entitlement of our amusement.  We willingly sacrifice our personal intention and talent to conform and assimilate with society.  We hide our power for fear of claiming it.

Popular Vertigo:

It is a nameless and faceless dis-ease that has always been a human epidemic.  We learn to inherit the security blanket of our confusion to justify our excuses, indifferences, failures and fears.  It produces barriers in our personal intelligence, understanding, intent and the manifestation of our purpose.  We plague ourselves with our own cognitive dissonance from which we so desperately yearn to escape and transcend.  The lethal concoction of our apathy, disinterest, envy and self-righteousness breeds our confusion.  The source of our greatest struggles is not found from without.  We enable it within.

Our condition of confusion grows in dimension, influence and complexity.  It becomes a perception we assume that eventually alters our reason, veracity and ideology.  Our focal point is dismantled and consumed by the vortex of existence we interpret as reality.  We turn our backs on the truth of our selves so that we may invent virtual relationships with superficial people in an artificial world.  We survive calculated circumstances, which yield simulated comforts and conveniences.  This racket we run on ourselves harvests aimless ambitions and unfulfilled lives.  In essence, we die more and more, everyday.

Inherited Uncertainty: 

Confusion is not our natural state of being.  Yet it is a daily routine to which we all subscribe.  It seems much easier to immerse our selves within our perplexity rather than claim and embrace the power of our choice, expression, truth and love.  We have been programmed into a habitual state of subconscious anxiety.  In the midst of our daily occurrences, we are perpetually exposed to a myriad of toxic stimuli that distorts our perception and experience.  Our apprehension and indecisiveness predominantly causes our entitlement, expectations, unhealthy relations and egocentric desires.

We become accustomed to living our lives between what was and what may be, rarely in the present moment.  We are conditioned daily to be afraid of our opportunities, choices, abilities, lifestyle and even love.  Our first impulse is to discredit our inspiration to express ourselves as we truly can be.  Our second instinct is to dismiss and ridicule others when their opportunity for empowerment may transpire.  The third inclination is to bury our brief encounters with our destiny and enable an ordinary life to which we are held captive by our own fear.  This formula holds us in a continual state of uncertainty.

Era of Epiphany:

We are living in an extraordinary era of insight and possibility.  A great deal of awareness and wisdom is more readily available than has ever been in the history of humanity.  There is a universal flow of energy rushing into the three dimensional reality dismantling our two dimensional captivity.  Our greatest barriers to fourth dimensional information, comprehension and consciousness were once a handful of arrogantly elitist, ridiculously wealthy and manipulative few.  Now, we are the only ones who can suppress or prohibit the expansion of our focus, talent and intention.

Our personalities, behaviors, fears and lives are being presented to us in illuminating HD clarity.  Everything about ourselves that we have enabled to restrict us from discovering and achieving our passion and purpose is emerging for us to release.  It simply requires us to choose, practice and become who we need to be for ourselves and others.  When we are living in the rhythm of epiphany, service and humility, we embrace all the truth, light and love that are eternally available to us.  This creates the opportunity for us to emanate the energy of creativity, insight and empowerment.

Moment of Clarity:

The confusion we allow and enable in our lives is our greatest obstacle.  It is the source of our worries, challenges, failures, divisions and fears.  We aren’t even present to most of the confusion we experience.  It is what we don’t know we don’t know about ourselves and our lives that confounds us.  The only time we are remotely aware of it is when we are confronted by adversity.  It is a conscious choice to observe what none of us really wants to see about ourselves.  We are able to transform our confusion into clarity when we embrace the truth that we alone hold ourselves back from truly living life.

Our personal power can only be claimed and expressed upon a foundation of authenticity and integrity.  This is the sacred design of universal being.  The achievement of our enlightenment is an eternal dance.  It is ever flowing toward and receding from us.  It simply begins with a choice.  One to which many of us may be either unaware or unwilling.  The acquisition of our consciousness and its inclusion into our daily lives is vital in the revelation, expansion and expression of our being.  It is the lucidity of our vision, choice, purpose and lifestyle that fulfills our truest destiny.

The Heart of It All:

It has been said that our energy flows where our attention goes.  Most of us are primarily unconscious of this truth.  The nature of our focus defines the reality in which we exist.  Our intent is our compass and our action is the manifestation of our true choice.  We either choose the abundant energy that is our birth rite, or we defer it to our external reality and become captive to an artificial existence.  The soul distinction that is harvested from our experience of life is our choice to embrace and share the greatest expression of our being.  This is all for which we are truly destined.
